    😩
    Not even in the SCR vendor?
    It's tradable but at what cost? Once the Honeymoon of new content ends, people wont be doing this

    Glad to report, we finally getting an NPC exclusive power for players! It's Gorillas and Stags Manimal's charge attack :grimace::+1:


    However with the exclusion of the Demolish ADV, not impressed with the utility ADV variety of it!
    This feels more like a 100% MIGHT power rather than a Bestial Supernatural with Demolish and Disoriented, and it's only on this powerframe because manimals used it
    x9fmd5a.gif
    Suggestion: Considering the availability of this power, it needs more useful utility ADVs to justice it's usage!
    Powers Live and Die by how useful they are with their ADV
    ADV
    • Restoration ADV
    • Shredded ADV
    • 3 Stacks of Furious ADV Even thought I feel the Furious utilities are currently an afterthought of a mechanic, rather than something Bestial and Munition actually utilize
    I don't think anyone will use this for Rank 3 DPS alone

    One thing that breaks the aesthetic of this power to me is the Collision and Zero interaction with the targets that are in your way as showed here!
    Ironic because one of the ADVs is called GET OUT OF MY WAY
    Suggestion: Make Brutal Charge REPEL the enemies that are your way between you and your primary target(s)
    No damage, just a Repel to get them out of you way to match the animation's theme


    Slightly increased the effectiveness of Rank 9 mods that apply Defense, Cooldown Reduction, Cost Reduction and Offense.
    Rank 9 Impact Prism is still extremely low!
    Please increased the defense values of Rank 8 and 9 to Justify their existence and trouble of fusing

    What did they incrase the Impact Prism R9 Def and Off to? Never seen the point to increasing either one beyond R7 given the pitifully small increast and the impact of DR at high levels of both Def and Off.​​

    At least make it 25 Defense and 80 Offense :weary:

    Yes, unfortunately recently I wasted 5 Rank 7 Impact Prism mods to fuse them on Rank 8! It was a waste!
    At least I'm using it on one of my newest favorite characters for min-max

    This reminds me when a friend wasted money on the Catalyst Rank 9 Upgrade, so she could have Rank 9 on her Tanks!
    She instantly regretted it

    the cores that add defense (this includes tough skin) still feel very subpar
    Just another reptile lover, known in game as @nacito

    This is a big journey, so far if you're reading this, wish you a good day

    Yes. Got to say that I would still not waste resources/money to upgrade Impacts. Just not worth it.​​
